I humbly offer a poem as a prelude to Shakespeare's "The Tempest" Act 3, Scene 2 (Caliban's Dream) in response to lemkuiper's "Caliban".http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbSyWY...Caliban's DreamTo survive the ages enslaved by Prospero,Immortalized on the stage by Shakespeare,'Tis not a fate to be shunned.Yet who would bemoan a celestial existence,To orbit a giant unknown, even, to the great bard?To be a slave once again,Yet free within the expanse of the heavens.Copyright 2006Ken GierkeThe Tempestby William ShakespeareAct 3, Scene 2 (Caliban assures Stephano)Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises,Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.Sometimes a thousand twangling instrumentsWill hum about mine ears, and sometime voicesThat, if I then had waked after long sleep,Will make me sleep again: and then, in dreaming,The clouds methought would open and show richesReady to drop upon me; that, when I waked,I cried to dream again.
